[Nhcoll-l] Dermestid Colony Door

[Neisskenwirth Fabian]

Hey Walt,

Here is a little sketch of the way we keep our colonies:

It’s very simple:

The container 1 holds the second in a glycerol bath, so if a bug comes out it drowns in the glycerol.  The container 2 is a terrarium with the colonies. We put a heater beneath the whole thing so the colonies are warm. It gets pretty cold here in the Swiss winter.

Hope it helps.


Greetings from Bern,

Betreff: [Nhcoll-l] Dermestid Colony Door

Does anyone use heat tape on the outside door to their dermestid colony to prevent escape or is there another method recommended?
